Zucchini Mandolino This is a wonderful and very quick way to prepare a side dish using zucchini and tomatoes which are so plentiful right now. It can be ready to eat - start to finish - in less than 10 minutes. Do not overcook the zucchini or it will disintegrate. This amount will serve two or three. Ingredients 1 large zucchini 2 Italian Plum tomatoes 2 cloves garlic 2 Tablespoons margarine Salt and white pepper to taste Preparation * Wash and peel zucchini and then shred into fine thin spaghetti-like strips. This can be done using the side of a box grater that has small round holes about the size of a pencil eraser. Or you could use an Italian mandolin which is why I call this recipe Zucchini Mandolino. * Chop 2 Italian plum tomatoes into small dice size pieces. Do not remove skin or seeds unless you cannot eat them due to medical reasons. * Slice two cloves of garlic thinly and then saute in 2 Tablespoons margarine in a non- stick pan. * Stir in shredded zucchini strings and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and whit pepper. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is heated through. ------------------ Look for more great recipes in Cookie Queen cookbooks * ³Royal Recipes From the Castle of The Cookie Queen² * ³Hassle-Free Holidays From the Castle of the Cookie Queen.² E-mail cookiequ@nb.net WebSite Cookie Queen Books |
